Cozy cabin near Denali
This cabin is very cozy and clean. It is a short and beautiful drive to Denali. We loved coming back to a quiet peaceful place with fall color right off the deck and nice views when the rain let up. The bed is very comfortable and the hosts thought of all you might need. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to stay again. All around great place to stay.

Perfection!
We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. The cottage was even better than we anticipated. It’s spacious, comfortable and well stocked. We ended up making breakfast everyday and dinner two of our four nights at the cottage because we found it so relaxing. The weather was excellent, so we were able to enjoy the field and mountain views from the deck. We travel a lot and the Cottage at Dry Creek is one of the best places we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying. If you’re looking for a private and homey place to stay near Denali National Park, be sure to book here.

Excellent choice
The cottage was clean, comfortable, well laid out, and had everything we needed for our stay. It was clear the hosts cared about the satisfaction of their guests. The cottage was also a great alternative to staying in a local hotel. No noisy crowds or crowded restaurants. Just a nice quiet space of our own. Thanks to the hosts

We stayed here for 5 nights, and it was the icing on the cake! On top of the beautiful view and the quiet area of where our cabin was located, the hosts thought of everything! We came in to a spotless cottage with everything we needed for our stay. Everything from the basic necessities, to a full array of cleaning/ laundry supplies, some basic food necessities for our stay, they even had bear and bug spray for our hikes around Denali National Park! The kitchen had everything you would need to cook some great meals! Honestly would not hesitate to stay again! The cabin was definitely one of the highlights to our honeymoon in the beautiful state of Alaska!

Beautiful Spot Near Denali
We had a wonderful stay at Cottage at Dry Creek! Our host, David, responded right away to lend a hand when needed. The cabin is just as pictured, and the views right off the back porch were amazing! Everything we needed was provided, from a fully stocked kitchen to plenty of towels to hiking supplies. (Caveat: in the winter months almost everything in Healy is closed.) We enjoyed the short drive to Denali and explored the part of the park that was open in the winter. I'm old so we did the short and easy hikes lol. We can't say enough about the beauty of the location or the responsiveness of our hosts when we reached out. Would love to stay here again!
